We have seen a number of concrete floor finish failures caused by moisture attack from the concrete substrate. In many instances, moisture tests were conducted prior to installing the floor covering/finish to assess the moisture content of the concrete substrate. The results of the tests suggested the concrete was dry enough to install the flooring, but failure was induced by moisture in the floor assemble.

This paper provides a description of the calcium chloride and relative humidity test procedures, the significance of the results, tips on interpreting the results, and the limitations of the test methods. We also present some of the other techniques used to measure moisture in concrete floor slabs, that are not as popular as the calcium chloride and relative humidity tests.
The calcium chloride moisture vapor transmission test has steadily gained acceptance in the floor coating industry. This paper discusses variables that affect the results of moisture vapor transmission testing, and presents the results of testing designed to measure the effects of certain environmental parameters on the results of calcium chloride moisture vapor transmission testing.
